Description of the policy/measure

Challenges arise in delivering quality products to the greatest number of australians at appropriate costs, given the geographical diversity of australia, the diverse nature of media delivery platforms and the many-faceted preferences and diverse nature of australian society.聽

Evaluation of the policy/measure

Monitoring and evaluation is commonly conducted on determining the efficacy of policies and programs in australia. a range of monitoring and reporting mechanisms are used.for example, each agency is required to produce an annual report which provides an overview of strategic performance as a whole, as well as performance against internal measures towards equity and diversity. this includes progress towards australia鈥檚 national arts and disability strategy, which aims to ensure that all people with a disability have access to, and are able to participate in, arts and cultural activities, and are involved in the decisions that affect them. the strategy鈥檚 focus has been on improving access to, and participation in, arts and cultural activities by people with disability, both as audience members and participants, and addressing barriers that discourage emerging artists and cultural workers with disability from developing their practice. the strategy has recently been evaluated and the final report is available online at http://mcm.arts.gov.au/working-groups/nads
